LAUREN FRANK
Hi, I’m a Graphic Designer based in New York City. I graduated from University of California, Los Angeles in 2020, where I studied Art and Art History and I am now working as a Designer on Michael Gericke’s team at Pentagram. Previously, I have worked for Artisan Council, The Jewish Museum, VICE Media, and Bravo within NBCUniversal.
My main interests within design include typography, archives, branding, and publication design,
as well as the intersections between
art and design.
Big fan of to-do lists, lists in general, Hieronymus Bosch, the relationship between witchcraft and feminism, weird art, and squished typefaces.
SOUVENIRS IN SPACE
Souvenirs in Space is an exploration of place, identity, and nostalgia, as named on the booklet’s cover. This saddle-stitch booklet brings together a range of artwork across painting, photography, and printmaking, separated by series and accompanied by text on the ideas and themes behind each series.
SOPHIE STUDIO
Logos and related materials created for a printmaking studio in Los Angeles to symbolize the artistic process of printing. This project is composed of one primary logo—shown across the studio’s printed matter—with two accompanying logos inspired by the artist’s work and handwriting. An icon was created, as well, from the primary
logo and secondary logo, representing the layering of plates and colors when printing. The studio’s print assets live on translucent paper, reminiscent of tracing paper used by the artist to transfer drawings, allowing for a reflected image of the logo to show through from either side.
POPSHIFT SUMMIT
Designed for a virtual event in 2020 to provide participants with a tangible and memorable element of the event, during a very digital-heavy time. This 8-page booklet created for PopShift Summit, an event bringing television writers and showrunners together to create a more inclusive and intersectional future for the entertainment industry. The use of typography that is reminiscent of Old Hollywood accompanied by bold shapes and color all represent a new wave of change within a historically exclusive industry.
LUMIERE SKINCARE
A skincare brand with the mission of creating clean and ethical products. The brand’s identity is rooted within nature, with a color palette derived from natural elements and abstract geometric forms inspired by chemical bonds, as the most important element of great skincare is great chemistry.
